Hi all,
I was experimenting with the restore_command on one of my standby systems. Originally this command just had:
restore_command='cp /mnt/wallogs/archive/%f %p'
And it was, and is working just fine, but since that doesn't delete the WAL files from the archive directory, I wanted to try:
restore_command='pg_standby /mnt/wallogs/archive %f %p %r'
But, the database then refused to start. The log showed:
LOG: entering standby mode
FATAL: could not restore file "00000003.history" from archive: return code 32512
LOG: startup process (PID 22847) existed with exit code 1
Now, that history file was already in the standby's pg_xlog directory. So, I tried copying it back to the archive directory and trying again, but no joy. I double-checked the
permissions on the file and the directory and those were good. So, I just changed the restore_command back to its original form, and the standby then started successfully. Did I
use pg_standby incorrectly? FYI, these servers are streaming replication using Version 9.3.3.

In my case I use a script where I can place several operations like
deleting the log etc.
